Redirected?

[edit]

The history of this page is screwy--the article has been redirected to Martin Luther but this talk page has been redirected to Luther (surname). Since there's been some controversy over how the article should be redirected, it would make sense to keep the talk page here instead of on a completely different page.

Do not redirect to Martin Luther

I strongly disagree with redirecting this page to Martin Luther. There are too many people named Luther, as well as movies, TV shows, etc. with "Luther" as their title to redirect this page to one person's page instead of to Luther (disambiguation). In fact, just today I was looking for one of those and it wasn't showing up in the search box and this redirect only made it worse; I realize there's a link to the DAB page on the ML page, but I was so confused as to why I couldn't find the TV show that I didn't even see it until several hours later--and I've been editing for 5 years. I imagine newcomers looking for another person named Luther, for the movie or TV show, or for the name itself would not be able to guess which parenthetical tag to use to find the title. (Try typing Luther in the search engine--I don't get any parenthetical choices listed--if I didn't know how articles are named, I'd be lost.) I changed the redirect--as have several others over the past two years--but it was reverted again. So now I'm asking for a discussion of this question. Should this page be directed to Martin Luther or to the DAB page? And if not to the DAB page, how do we get those parenthetical article titles to show up in the search box?

Redirecting this page to Luther (disambiguation) results in a WP:MALPLACED disambiguation page. Please request that the disambiguation page be moved here, and provide courtesy pointers to the discussion (RFC or RM) on Talk:Martin Luther and Talk:Luther (disambiguation). -- JHunterJ (talk) 11:40, 9 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Took me a while to get back to this, but I've officially submitted the request. Thanks for letting us know that we needed to do this. Aristophanes68 (talk) 16:09, 21 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
